It is, perhaps, telling that two of the most notable rolling Linux
distributions continue to hold off from issuing 5.2 in their stable channels.
That includes Arch, the very same Arch that routinely performs same-day
releases from upstream without any semblance of QA - including for glibc - and
generally doesn't bother to backport any critical fixes between upstream
releases.
